Hello Josephine, Tony, and Nivard Firstly, thank you Josephine for the christening details. I have tried searching on variations of spelling. The problem is that once he becomes separated from known family members it is difficult to know whether he is the right person on not. It is extremely frustrating not to be able to find him but I suppose that I can console myself with the fact that, due to help of Listers in the past, I have filled in many gaps for the rest of his family. I will keep trying and who knows? One day I may be able to find him. Thank you all Regards Millie

Recently, I found the 1893 baptism of my grandfather on FamilySearch. He was the grandson of the Charlotte HARRIS (nee NORMAN formerly BAKER), whom I mentioned in my previous post. For years I didn't think he'd been baptized as his baptism wasn't in the local parish church, but then I found it in a church nearby and also the baptism of his younger half-sister. So the answers may be out there, even though it may take years to find them! Josephine
